Instructions
- 1
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped pecans for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside.
- 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water or milk, diced apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves (if using), and a dash of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more liquid.
- 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the maple syrup or brown sugar. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
- 5
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Sprinkle the toasted pecans evenly over each serving. Serve immediately.
